NEW GARDEN PLANTS OF THE YEAR 1914. 



The number of garden plants annually described in botanical and 

 horticultural publications, both English and foreign, is now so con- 

 siderable that it has been thought desirable to publish a complete 

 list of them in the Keta BtiUetin each year. The following list 

 comprises all the new introductions recorded during 1914. These 

 lists are indispensable to the maintenance of a correct nomenclature, 

 especially in the smaller botanical establishments in correspondence 

 wdth Kew, which are, as a rule, only scautily provided with horticul- 

 tural periodicals. Such a list will also afford information respecting 

 new plants under cultivation at this establishment, many of which 

 will be distributed from it in the reefular course of exchange with 

 other botanic gardens.

The present list includes not only plants brought into cultivation 

 for the first time during 1914, but the most iioteworthy of those 

 which have been re-introduced after being lost from cultivation. 

 Other plants included in the list may have been in gardens for 

 several years, but either were not described or their names had not 



been authenticated until recently. 



In addition to species and well-marked varieties, hybrids, whether 

 introduced or of garden origin, have been included where they have 

 been described with formal botanical names. Mere cultural forms 

 of well-known garden plants are omitted, for obvious reasons. 



In every case the plant is cited under its published name, although 

 some of the names are doubtfully correct. Where, however, a correc- 

 tion has appeared desirable, this is made. 



The name of the person in whose collection the plant was first 



noticed or described is given where known. ^ . , , ,

in cultivation at Kew, , ^ ._ . .. .,
